Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting the installation, ensure the engine is cool to the touch. Remove the existing damaged panels by unscrewing the mounting bolts, keeping track of the hardware for re-use. Align the new ACERBIS panels with the factory mounting points; do not overtighten the bolts, as this can cause the plastic mounting tabs to crack. For maintenance, wash the panels with mild soap and water after rides to prevent mud buildup, which can affect cooling performance. Avoid using harsh chemical degreasers that may degrade the plastic finish. Periodically check that all mounting bolts remain secure after strenuous rides, as vibrations can occasionally loosen fasteners.
